George Thorogood And The Destroyers - Drifter's Escape Lyrics
(Is it rollin' Jim?)
"Oh, help me in my weakness,"
I heard the drifter say,
As they carried him from the courtroom
"My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
And my time it isn't long,
And I still do not know
What it was that I've done wrong."
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside,
A tear came to his eye,
"You fail to understand," he said,
"Why must you even try?"
Outside, the crowd was stirring,
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
While the jury cried for more.
"Oh, stop that cursed jury,"
Cried the attendant and the nurse,
"The trial was bad enough,
But this is ten times worse."
Just then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse out of shape,
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
The drifter did escape.

That was refreshing
Great version, shame more people could hear this.
um yes, very good
Great cover.
anyone ever uncovered the hendrix version? imagine if jimi had lived
Yeah you're right
George makes this song his own while respecting the original. Saw George Thorogood live at Aitken Centre, UNB, 1986; like a rattlesnake with a geetar.
well with all due respect (and without it)This is trash what a bad version of the song this stinks the hendix's version is the best of them all
